In one of my leagues, I'm completely bewildered. I come out of the gates with a monster game every week, then shoot 200 or 190, then last game is upper 200, 210. Every week the last four weeks, like clockwork, and I don't get it, I can't figure out what's different. I've had my fair share of scores, so I don't really get to thinking 800 after one game, and I've only had one shot at 300 the first game (usually I double or triple, spare, and run the sheet). My first games the last four weeks have been 239, 267, 289, 279. My second games add up to just a tad over 800, and my third games add up to about 830 or 840. Little carry and a bad shot in the second game (usually a few tens, an 8 or a 9, and one open somewhere), and the last game is always clean with one double or a triple. Have either one 8 count or none, my first ball average is always in the range of 9.5. The lane conditions don't change super fast, I don't think I'm throwing it any differently, alcohol isn't a factor, I either have two or none, and I rarely change balls mid-set. With the exception of the first two weeks, I've used a different ball every week. Blast Zone first two weeks, Fury last week, X-Factor tonight. I'm usually the type to shoot consistent games too. If I shoot in the neighborhood of 700, it's 235 235 235. I have 5 800s, and only one of them had a 300 in it. And whats more, traditionally my big scores come in the second or third games. Lol I'd say I was doing the FIGJAM thing, but having a first game average of 268 and a second game average of 200 and a third of 208 doesn't exactly scream good . . it screams lucky followed by what the hell . . Anybody have any ideas or has had this happen before?
